Mrs Conners began her teaching career as an intern at the school in 2004 and taught several business and communications courses. The school district and authorities have been tight-lipped about the case.

know that the discretion we have shown in the release of information is
a direct result of the ongoing investigation and an effort to protect

the principal at St Bernard-Elmwood Place Junior High School in
Cincinnati. The couple have two sons.
